What problem does it solve? Evaluating whether a domain is trustworthy and authoritative enough to rank well and be cited by search engines and AI systems is subjective without a standardized benchmark. This Skill replaces guesswork with a structured 40-item audit across four dimensions (Citation, Identity, Trust, Eminence), producing a weighted CITE score, critical-issue detection, and a prioritized action plan. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 40-Item CITE Audit: Scores every check item as Pass/Partial/Fail across four dimensions, with domain-type-specific weighting for content publishers, e-commerce, SaaS, and more. - Veto and Cap Logic: Detects critical manipulation signals (PBN patterns, Google penalties, link-traffic mismatch) and caps scores deterministically, with a plain-language trust verdict of TRUSTED, CAUTIOUS, or UNTRUSTED. - Prioritized Action Plan: Ranks the top 5 improvements by weighted impact and groups findings into critical, should-fix, and nice-to-have tiers. - Use Case: Before launching a GEO campaign, run a CITE audit on your domain versus two competitors to identify whether weak knowledge graph presence or a toxic backlink profile is limiting your authority, then follow the generated action plan. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to audit domain authority for your domain, optionally specifying the domain type such as e-commerce or content publisher.

Frequently Asked Questions about domain-authority-auditor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit domain authority for my website?▼

Provide the target domain and optionally its type (content publisher, e-commerce, SaaS, and so on). The audit scores 40 CITE check items across Citation, Identity, Trust, and Eminence dimensions, then produces a weighted score out of 100 with a prioritized action plan.

What is the CITE domain rating framework?▼

CITE is a 40-item benchmark organized into four dimensions: Citation, Identity, Trust, and Eminence. Each item is scored Pass, Partial, or Fail, and dimension scores are weighted by domain type to produce an overall CITE score from 0 to 100.

Does the domain authority audit require SEO tool API keys?▼

No, all integrations are optional. Without connected tools, you manually provide backlink data, traffic estimates, and competitor domains, and the audit proceeds with the available data while marking unverifiable items as N/A.

What happens when a critical trust issue is found?▼

Critical veto items such as Google penalties, PBN link patterns, or link-traffic mismatch cap the affected dimension and overall score at 60. The report shows a plain-language verdict of UNTRUSTED and explains the specific issue to fix first.

How is this different from a content quality audit?▼

This audit evaluates the domain behind the content across 40 items, while the companion content-quality-auditor evaluates individual pages across 80 CORE-EEAT items. Together they form a combined 120-item assessment of domain and content.
